AEP T2 BLOG 3 - Summer Rose S. Valdez

I can't believe it is already time for the third blog of the second term, and possibly the last blog of the year. Time flies fast, doesn't it? As hard and stressful trimester 2 was in other subjects, AEP has felt the same. It feels like a breath of fresh air, after long days filled with numbers and scientific terms. Without further ado, let us end this year's last blog with a bang!

November 28 - It's Okay To Lose

Our lesson of AEP began with something we didn't expect - we lost at Quordle. It was unexpected, for we have mastered the art of this game, or so we thought. The words this time were quite difficult, leaving us perplexed until the game over screen. Regardless of the outcome, it was a fun warmup.

We then started studying the next vocabulary unit. As per usual, everyone was assigned some words from the next vocab unit and had to learn their meanings. The words I got assigned were "avail," and, "crony". I found those words easy to understand, and am eager to take advantage of them in the future. I also learned new things hearing my classmates answer questions of their own words, and found them very useful.

The blog this time extremely short, as we only got to have one lesson of AEP that week. But that doesn't mean you can't learn anything new, because I definitely did. On top of that, we got humbled by a game we thought we had already conquered. You truly never can be perfect, no matter how hard you try. It may sound depressing, but it also means you will never reach your limit. Never feel as if you have reached your peak, for you can always go beyond that. I can't believe it's the last blog this year, so much has happened since the start of Grade 8. There were many ups and downs (mostly downs), but in the end, it does not matter, for we are approaching a new year, a fresh start. Life is nothing without the negative aspects, like rollercoasters are nothing without the thrilling drops. The ups in life make the downs worth it.
